Reasons select made-to-measure packaging
A regular box leaves spare space around the product, enabling it to rattle during transit until someone fills the gap with foam or paper to keep it still.
Standard packaging with a side sticker is the easiest route, but it serves no specific customer.
Custom Pack Studio produces bespoke packaging customised for your product, making sure the box, print and finish reinforce your brand rather than overshadowing it.
We manufacture custom boxes, mailer boxes, gift packaging and printed accessories for businesses throughout Abercynon and the surrounding valleys, with orders ranging from one sample to a pallet load delivered straight to a warehouse door.
We impose no minimum order for anything we make, so you avoid stock and storage costs until a product proves it sells.
Provide your packaging specifications, and we will tailor our recommendation specifically to the product concerned.
What personalised packaging entails
Custom packaging creates the box around your product from the start, meaning that its size and printing reflect exactly what you are packing.
You select the dimensions, ensuring a custom-sized box holds the product securely rather than letting it rattle within surplus space created by a generic size.
Each element, including the construction, board weight, printing and finish, is customised to the contents and the manner they are transported.
Printing a logo onto a stock box constitutes personalised packaging, a less extensive undertaking than entirely customisable design.
With customised packaging, you can modify each panel, fold and finish, even with a single run, creating packaging that fits without compromise.
Packing types we create for Abercynon organisations
We produce a complete range of packaging boxes, made to bespoke sizes and printed in full colour using your artwork.
Choosing the suitable box style and packaging format is based on what you sell and how it is handled, while our packaging specialists can guide you through the available options.
Commercial packages and branded packaging
Reverse tuck end cartons are a conventional retail packaging format for lighter products, including cosmetics and supplements, with flaps that tuck into place at the top and bottom alike.
Crash lock boxes are a sturdier form of lock box, constructed from cardboard with a base that snaps flat upon opening, preventing heavier products from forcing the bottom out.
Post and e-commerce boxes
A custom mailer box safeguards your product across the courier network and makes delivery part of the brand experience and visibility, with printing on the inside and outside rather than only on the outer face.
Gusseted versions of these custom printed boxes provide additional depth, allowing bulkier items room to rest securely without shifting.
Present containers, rigid boxes and roofed boxes
Rigid boxes, gift boxes with magnetic closures and additional branded boxes provide presents with refined presentation customers expect, without requiring them to wrap anything themselves.
Gable boxes with folding carry handles are well suited to food presents and hampers.
For premium ranges, we may select SBS board, solid bleached sulphate and a bright, food safe paperboard, over standard carton stock, while foil and soft touch lamination enhance the finished effect.
Design aid for your Abercynon brand
Each order includes packaging design support, irrespective of how far your artwork has progressed.
Got a logo and brand guidelines? Our design experts produce print ready files, checking that colours stay accurate on board because packaging requires greater resolution than a website image.
You do not need prior design experience to develop packaging that reflects your brand. Our team can begin with a logo alone, define the structure and create professionally designed artwork prepared for print in collaboration with you, clarifying each technical decision as it arises.
Our online tool enables you to personalise a box and preview its appearance on screen before printing, while Pantone colour matching ensures that repeat orders remain consistent.
Do you need your packaging printed in both English and Welsh? Our team manages it as a standard artwork requirement, in the same way as any other language or colour change.
Specialised packaging for Abercynon’s unique industries
Cuisine and drink
Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef both have Protected Geographical Indication status, while all food packaging that comes into contact with meat or dairy must meet food contact standards, regardless of where it is manufactured.
We have BRC Global Packaging certification at High Hygiene level, meaning our food packaging is manufactured in carefully controlled, traceable conditions that retailers assess before listing a product.
Drinks and distilleries
Over the past two decades, Wales has built a genuine drinks scene, encompassing Brecon Beacons distilleries and newer gin and whisky producers across the north.
Bottle presentation boxes must endure transit while maintaining their shelf appeal, with finishes such as foil stamping and embossing providing much of the impact for a limited release or seasonal gift set.
Cosmetics and aesthetics of the Abercynon
Cosmetic and skincare brands require cartons that safeguard delicate glass and compacts while standing out on the shelf.
We manufacture cosmetics packaging featuring soft touch lamination, foil and embossing, whilst rigid boxes complement a premium range that must support a higher price point.
Online commerce and subscription companies
Retail ready and display packaging are significant when products occupy shops or marketplace fulfilment centres, but subscription brands encounter a distinct challenge.
Every month, the same customer revisits an nearly identical box, making a dependable finish equally important as the initial design.
Effective online retail packaging, made to match your product packaging precisely, keeps goods secure in transit and minimises damage claims and returns.
A fitted insert or printed tissue prevents the product from shifting during transit, while confirming the print is straight away visible when the box is opened.
For a subscription-based brand that reorders monthly, maintaining consistent box dimensions preserves predictable pallet capacity and warehouse racking, becoming increasingly important as volumes exceed several hundred units.
Sending to Abercynon from our Scottish atelier
Everything is made at our Irvine site, with UK delivery to companies in Abercynon provided as standard.
After proof approval is confirmed, most orders reach at a Abercynon address within two to three weeks, on the same timetable as the rest of our packaging across the UK.
Custom Pack Studio belongs to KennedySmith (Press) Ltd, a well-established packaging manufacturer producing print and packaging since 1997. Its experienced team makes the boxes using its own presses.
You sign off on a proof and, where required by the format, a physical sample before full production starts, while reorders keep the original artwork, meaning larger quantities require no new preparation.
Working with one box company for packaging throughout your entire product line keeps everything simple.
You have one invoice and one contact, avoiding the need to chase several suppliers quoting different prices for different weeks.
Ethical packaging as usual
Each box we produce is completely recyclable, with that recyclability inherent in the board itself.
Our board and paper originate from FSC and PEFC certified sources, while an audited supply chain tracks each sheet back to responsibly managed forests.
We are cutting down on single use plastic and EPS foam void fill throughout our processes because neither is readily recyclable, creating disposal difficulties once a parcel is opened.
When the design allows, biodegradable or paper-based protection takes their place instead.
Without a minimum order for Abercynon companies
Throughout much of the industry, custom packaging demands minimum orders of 500 or 1,000 units, meaning you to fund stock and storage before establishing whether the product will sell.
We have no minimum order whatsoever.
Smaller businesses can begin with a single sample, place a limited trial run, or proceed with full production once demand is established, while unit pricing scales across each quantity in between.
You will consistently receive a written quotation prior to production commencing, while the high quality materials and packaging products provided for a run of fifty are identical to those provided for a run of ten thousand.
Before placing a large order, obtain a printed sample to assess its print, colour and its fit in your hand.
